Garden

@♖ Lee Minhyuk /hugs you tightly when you give me a hug, smiling softly
/lightly shakes my head when i look to you
n-no, it's fine-
/smiles lightly
i-i just.. i'm not used to talking, a-and.. usually.. usually people make fun of me when they hear me talk a-after being so quiet /clears my throat and smiles softly when you adjust my crown
thank you.. /laughs softly and eye smiles cutely
i-i love talking to you too /nods softly

@♖ Kim Jinhwan /falls quiet when i see your obvious nervous expression and my heart melts a little to see you so hesitant with my reaction, so i scot a little closer to give you a hug, my head gently patting your back;
i'm sorry if i made you nervous, hwannie, but it's okay if you don't want to speak to me. we can stick with the pads if you're more comfortable with that.
/pulls back to adjust your crown a bit with a soft, genuine smile and then patting your hand to give you some more comfort;
either way, i'm happy to communicate with you. don't push yourself okay?

@♖ Lee Minhyuk /eyes widen when you realize, looking down quickly as i expect you to make fun of me
/flinches some when you speak, relaxing when you don't make fun of me, looking up slowly, a little startled when you don't make fun of me
/nibbles on my lip softly and nods softly
y-yeah... /says softly and looks away when i speak again
/clears my throat softly before looking back to you nervously as i feel my heart thumping in my chest

@♖ Kim Jinhwan hardly, hwannie! what kind of handsome prince cries like this-
/doesn't even realize you've spoken until i reach nearly the end of my sentence, sitting up straighter in my seat with a dramatic gasp;
you can talk!
/immediately flushes a bright red in embarrassment in having said it so bluntly, finger curling in a strand of my hair with a sheepish smile;
i'm sorry that was rude of me. i shouldn't have assumed anything...

@♘ Ten [ apologies for the delay!! i thought i wrote the reply but in fact, did not >< ]

At the mention of thinking about it, Yukhei decided to let it rest for now. At the mention of the flowers, the man thought for several moments. "I don't know about favorite flowers...but I know he likes yellows and greens. He's a nature type of guy, so I think any flower will do honestly." He huffed softly in amusement. His eyes returned to surveying the garden before him, stepping towards a small planting of yellow pansies. He contemplated for a moment before bending down to pluck on, twirling between his fingers before looking towards Ten with a a bit of a smile. He reached out to give it to him, "You aren't allergic to these, right?"

@♖ Lee Minhyuk /laughs softly as i realize we are both sitting in the gardens crying, lightly shaking my head and smiels to you
/without much thought, i respond aloud
you're the handsome prince, you've got the crown and bracelet
/hugs you and freezes when i realize i've just spoken to you, eyes widening when you kiss my cheek
/smiles warmly to you and nods softly

@♖ Kim Jinhwan /sniffles pitifully when you pull out your handkerchief and taking it gratefully to dab at my eyes while tears continue to streak down them, sobbing quietly between words when i see your teary eyes;
aw hwannie, don't cry! i'm sorry i just didn't expect such beautiful gifts today. the handsome prince shouldn't cry~
/attempts to tease with a watery smile, scooting closer to give you a tight hug and a chaste kiss to your cheek, sniffling again;
i'll cherish these forever. i love them so much.

@♕ Wong Yukhei Ten had nodded softly before smiling as he was reminded to stay away from the lilies. “That’s only if I eat them, and there’s a lot of flowers that are poisonous to me, lilies, daffodils, hyacinths..” he began to list as he looks around at the variety of flowers and colors. He looked to Yukhei, a bit relieved to hear he wouldn’t be forced; he nodded his head up and down gently, softly responding, “I’ll rethink.” He looked to Yukhei when he stopped, before thinking, “Does the friend you are getting this for Have a favorite color? Or flower, maybe?”

@♖ Lee Minhyuk /smiles as you blush, happy to know I’ve caused that
/smiles even more at the nickname, giggling quietly
/eyes widen when you begin to cry, quickly reaching for your eyes before stopping myself
/checks my pockets for any napkin or handkerchief, pulling out a clean handkerchief to hand you
/eyes water a little when I realize you aren’t upset but instead touched, wipes my eyes with the back of my hand and nods softly

@♖ Kim Jinhwan /smiles sweetly at you, blushing from your words, i could never get enough of the praises, it's my nature to crave them and i happily drink them up;
of course, whatever makes it easier for you, hwannie.
/the cutesy nickname slipping from my lips before i can stop it, though quickly becoming distracted from the pretty flower bracelet you made, my eyes widen and i stare at the bracelet for a little until tears well up into my eyes, suddenly beginning to cry with small hiccups in between but i refuse to rub at my eyes to avoid messing up my makeup, bottom lip jutting out into a pout and trembling a bit when i speak;
h-hwannie, thank you so much! i'm-i'm sorry i'm such a cry baby, but i love gi-gifts and rarely anyone gives me anything--

@♘ Ten yukhei looked back to ten when saw how his voice upturned into something lighter rather than timid, pausing for a moment before huffing in amusement. "really? hm...that's good to know. you opinion will be important then. don't get close to lilies though, they're poisonous to you." a hand rested in his pants pocket as they walked from the piano room together. yukhei predicted his reaction as much to being owed a treat afterwards, but the man only shrugged. "if you truly don't want to, then i won't force you, but i would like to. think about it longer." he murmured. yukhei only really came to the gardens when he wanted a nap outdoors, maybe a book to read when he sat under one of the shady trees. he paused at the entrance, contemplating which way to go before he gazed back to ten. "what kind of flowers do you think we should start?"

@♖ Lee Minhyuk /smiles shyly at your kind words
/writes 'you are really the kindest, minnie ♡ i would really love the additional notepads lol'
/smiles to you as you list off all of your charms, enjoying you talk about them
/lightly shakes my hands and shows you the flower bracelet that i created and begins to put it on
/folds it in to complete the bracelet and smiles happily
/points to your crown and bracelet, hoping you notice they match

@♖ Kim Jinhwan wah~ flower crowns really suit you, hwannie. enhances your beauty~
/claps my hands with a small giggle, looking over your note and shrugs after;
truly, i don't mind. i'll remember to stash them around the mansion for you now! that way it's easier for you and others to communicate.
/blinks when you point at my wrist, glancing down at it but all i see is my usual bracelet that has a little charms on it, thinking you're asking about that;
oh, do you like? i saved up a lot to buy it! i love the charms. this one is a heart, this a doggy, this is a star, this a cherry, this is a flower, this is a cat which is the dog's friend-
/willing to ramble on about it until i say every charm if you don't stop me;

@♖ Lee Minhyuk /smiles brightly when you curtsey, settling next to you when we sit
/reaches for you when you run off but lets you go
/waits patiently as i look around, smiling again when i begin to make a small flower bracelet, just like the flower crown you have
/looks up to you and lightly frowns when you are out of breath, gently taking the notepad and smiles to you
/looks up to you, smiling and waiting for the flower crown to be put on, playfully modeling after it's put on
/writes 'thank you so much minnie, but you could have walked, i wouldn't have minded'
/smiles to you before leaning over and adjusting your crown before remembering the bracelet and points to your wrist

@♖ Kim Jinhwan /giggles when you bow to me, standing up to do my own curtsey before sitting back down, blinking when you keep staring before realizing i left the notepad behind, smacking my forehead lightly;
aw no, i totally forgot it hwan! stay right here, i'll go get it-
/scurries off to retrieve it, flower crown bobbing on my head from the speed, returns a few minutes later a bit out of breath since i ran the entire way, handing it to you;
sorry, i'm so forgetful sometimes. okay, let me put the crown on you now-

@♖ Lee Minhyuk /grins when you look up, gently propping the crown perfectly atop your head
/smiles brightly when i see how beautiful you look and nods quickly
/gets up and playfully bows to you before sitting next to you
/looks for your notepad, thinking we may have left it in the room when i don't see it
/blinks softly as i look to you, trying to figure out how to communicate

@♖ Kim Jinhwan /murmurs a small thank you when you hold out the flowers, finishing it soon enough and looking proud at my work, i like to think i make the cutest crowns at the mansion, flushes slightly when you tap chin and complies immditaely, unable to stop my fidgeting in excitement when i feel you place it on me, the delight on my face only growing as i smile widely at you;
what do you think? looks good?

@♖ Lee Minhyuk /can't help but smile when you gasp, nodding softly as you say you'd like to make one
/gestures for you to use the flowers, giggling softly when you gather more flowers
/slowly stop smaking the crown while i wait for you to return, watches as you concentrate and moves my hands so it's easier for you to see them as i twist them
/finished my flower crown, gently tapping your chin to have you look up for me

@♖ Kim Jinhwan /i always enjoy physical affection and drink it up in anyway i can so i'm glad you don't pull away, follows to sit with on the bench and gasping when you start to twist the flowers in a familiar way;
are you making me a flower crown?! wait, i want to do one for you too. i love making them.
/whines softly before setting off to gather a few flowers, coming back to sit next to you and my brows furrowing in concentration as i carefully twist them;

@♖ Lee Minhyuk /looks down at our hands when you take mine again, smiling to you
/nods softly and points to a small bench next to a row of flowers
/takes you to the bench and begins to pluck a couple of flowers, twisting them into a small flower crown for you

@♖ Kim Jinhwan /i miss your hand in mine and i quickly follow up behind you to hold hands so we can walk together, a happy expression on my face as i look around at all the blooming flowers that pop up everyone;
do you like coming here often, hwan? it's really pretty and calming!

@♖ Lee Minhyuk /after hurrying out of the ic room, i bring you to the garden and looks to you a bit shyly
/lets go of your hand and begins to walk down the steps to the garden, looking around at the different plants
/hums softly before looking back to you, my nervousness gone

Minho let out a faint sigh as he wandered outside. He just needed some fresh air and he had the perfect spot to relax in. A smile stretching onto his lips as he made his way through the garden untill reaching one of the statues just to walk around it and lay down on the grass. A faint hum leaving him as his gazed raised to the sky to watch the many clouds that floated by.
